Michael and Aubrey's wedding

So after Katy's grad party we then went to Grand Rapids to attend the wedding of Michael Kingma and Aubrey Sikkema. Once again a wonderful time was had by all. The wedding went off without a hitch and there is a new Kingma couple. Here are some pictures of the event!

You can only imagine how long it took Mary Lou to find Darren and hold him.....

Katy, Nick, and Caitlyn...........( I wonder where their desire to hold babies comes from??)

Nick's toast to the bride and groom brought tears to everyone's eyes.

Proud parents of the groom!

The inevitable Bible study skit!

What is Michael doing with his hand??? Does he not know what this leads to??

Katy's Grad party

So we had a great time on Friday night with Katy's housemates and parents celebrating their graduation from Redeemer. Although Katy did not actually attend the grad itself this party the evening before was well worth the trip for us! The picture of the girl that the girls are holding is of Stacey who was one of the housemates that was unable to attend. The second picture is of the parents and the girls. (Nice sunset reflected in the window eh?) A great time was had by all! Mary Lou and I did go to bed fairly early as we did not get alot of sleep the night before. We are very poud of Katy! She leaves for Europe tomorrow!

30th anniversary

Well it has been an interesting 30 years to say the least!

Today to celebrate our anniversary we climbed up pryamid rock trail, had a picnic and a bottle of wine. It was a fine time. Nick, you will notice that we kept our clothes on as opposed to other people I know.

To all of you who have been a part of these 30 years a heartfelt thank you for all of the great memories and for the joy that you have brought us.

Thank you!

Guest room!

As promised here are some pictures of our guest room! It is open for business! However, it is temporarily full as Nick and Becca are moving in with us for the month of June and then we are gone for part of July. It will be open for guests starting in August! Start your planning now! First come first serve!

Cinco De Mayo??? or Winter fest????

Well you would have to see if to believe it but we have had two days of snow these past two days! Really quite interesting! I woke up Saturday morning to snow and we went to church in a snowstorm today. Quite fun really, By this afternoon the over 30 soccer team I play on had the opportunity to once again get pasted by a latin american team. The snow had all melted by then. Still it was rather odd to get snow in May...

It occurs to me that I have quite a few "snow pictures" on our blog. I think I simply enjoy it when it snows and we get so much sunshine that I find it rather fun when we do get snow. Katy thought the idea of snow in May sounded quite horrible but she is reflecting an Ontario bias!

Hope everyone had a great Cinco De Mayo!
